The Secret to Gourmet Sex

The Vital Goddess ·

2024/09/27

There's a commonly held belief that women are not as interested in sex as men are. It's time to bust that myth.I think what we often confuse as "not interested" is really "not interested in what's on the menu".It all boils down to the initiation we never got.Most of us have never been initiated into the sacred power of our bodies, our sensuality and sexuality and how it's all connected.To everything.Most of us have never learned to play our own divine instrument.And how key that is to not onl...

I love a juicy tale of a woman diving deep and reclaiming herself.Don't you?When I witness another woman, sharing her story of feminine reclamation there's magic in the air. ✨✨✨It enlivens, inspires and ignites me in a way that's hard to express in words.I guess that makes sense.Words can only capture a part of what's going on here.It's a vibe.It's felt.A resonance. A transmission.And that's what I want to share with you in today's episode.I'm in conversation with womb healer and trailblazer ...

Real Talk: How I Got Started on the Jade/Yoni Egg

The Vital Goddess ·

2024/08/30

I have a vulnerable share.Are you ready?My very first Jade Egg sat in the drawer for months. Not days. Not weeks. We’re talkin’ months.Like so many women, when I first heard about the Taoist Jade Egg practice, I was intrigued.I’m a pretty holistic gal, so the promise of healing my pelvic floor issues (which were pretty bad) naturally, really appealed to me. I’m also kinda witchy, to be honest.I’ve always been drawn to ancient mystical practices of all kinds. Venus in Scorpio conjunc...

Hey amazing woman!

Desire. The very word has some charge to it doesn’t it?Desire has gotten a bad wrap in many spiritual circles and in society in general but in the realm of all things Venus, our desire is gold.But most of us weren’t taught that. Quite the opposite.What I’ve come to understand and live more fully into is that desire is sacred life force calling us forward to our next adventure and our next growth edge.Desire unleashed can be our greatest teacher; a fail-proof path to our authenticity and ...

When it comes to astrology, most people know their Sun sign.Many know their Moon and Rising signs too.But so few are acquainted with their personal Venus.To be honest not many astrologers give Her much attention.Or the wrong, “bad news”, disempowering kind of attention.Like “with your Venus in this sign, or with this aspect on your Venus, your love life is doomed.” kind of thing.That’s dangerous advice.Venus is the part of your natal chart that brings it all alive.The part that gets you clear...

Why Venus? Why Now?

The Vital Goddess ·

2024/07/12

Venus, Goddess of Love.Why should we care?When we think of the things Venus/Aphrodite represents; beauty, sensuality, pleasure, sex, passion, love and intimacy it’s clear to see that these are themes most humans struggle with. But it doesn’t have to be that way.This face of the Goddess has been dissed, dismissed, trivialized, commercialized and commoditized more than any other. I find that very intriguing.What was once sacred, and central to thriving ancient civilizations has ...

With all that's going on astrologically and in the world at large, that makes sense.We're all going through massive shifts on many levels, so it's not surprising that we find ourselves up in the middle of the night more often these days.
